tign and abridgment Of - the debates in Con

I,lr. Benton, so long a distinguished legislatim,
promises to be. This, the; fimrth 'volume,
(which has just been published,) is all that we
have yet - seen of the work, but this is suffi
cient, in its distinctive completeness, to assure
'us that no Editor in the Union could have
done such ample justice to what really merits
the name of a National work. , ,
! The design is to complete it in 15 yolumes,
averaging 760 pages each,, double columns.
It will bring down the, whole of our Parlia
mentary 'history to the close of 1860. Each
yolume has a separate Index: ' In volume Iv.,
this . extends' to 85 pages of Small print. The
closing volume; we take it for granted, will
contain a 'General Index to the whole work.'
It is sold -by subscription only, the -prices
varying from $3 per volume to $4.60, ac
cording to the varieties of binding, The get
ting up of the work is good—the design being
to qualify it for the private library, inasmuch
as it is essentially.* book of reference, and not
intended for ono or two hasty readings.
Mr; Benton has found his materials in over
one hundred volumes of Gales & Seaton's

Of this work, Mr. Benton modestly claims no
More than the merit of strict integrity and
impartiality. We cheerfully admit this, also
acknowledging 'the ability and skill which lie
has devoted to the execution of such a labori

men qualified for such a -task, we endorse the
opinion in his favor, of. Mr. Buchanan, Mr.

this all, as regards the special artiatical adorn

Mr. Herbert, whose nom de plume is Frank
Forester, is well known as one of the best
writers upon fleld-sports now living. He cer
tainly Is one of the most accurate. Devoted
as be is to a country life, he is a fine classical
, sClolar also, and won his Kim's, long before
he commenced writing on field and., other
sports, as a poet, historian, biographer, and
novelist. In the work • before us, as might be
!expected from a mind so highly cultivated., we
notice numerous deviations from the commeh•
place set form of description. He "writes of
the horse as if he loved him, and often becomes
almost poetical when recording his feats, and
doing justice to his merits. • A great point of
value in this work is that, though 'particular,
when •needed, in details, Mr. Herbert is never
technical; another merit,is that he writes like.
,a scholar and a gentleman, avoiding pedantry
on one, hand, and eschewing the familiarity
of slang on the other.
The. work is not intended to make every
man hie own farrier,, but to assist the horse
man, by giving him a cyclopedia of informa
tion respecting the noble animal be rides, and
yet, while communicating more than ever yet'
was put, on that' subject, into two volumes,
not to pretend at superseding what can scarce
ly be contained in half a library. But it is I
essentially an original work, the greater por
tion of it derived from Mr. Herbert's personal
knowledge, experience, observation, and cot
respondence.
We shall Mt the author state the contents of
the work, in the words of his medest and in
teresting preface. ,_ 4 (The, first volume," he
says, 4 c will be found, to contain a brief history,

FROM AN OLD CLAY MAN.-NO. IV.
ynr The Press.]
{ The papers have announced the success of the
Demooratio ticket throughout the State, as the re
sult of the election on Tuesday last. I have not
looked to coo by what majorities, nor Is it of much
consequence When Pennsylvanians undertake to
correct en error they generally do !Crary emphati
cally. I want a little space in Tan Pima to re
mark upon the teachings of the oleotion, hooluse I
consider the results of Tuesday as presenting to a
patriot new grounds of hope for the perpetuity of
our institutions.
In this city the majority for the Detnoeratie
ticket was very large—and this, too, at a time when
in the midst of unheard•of pecuniary difficulties,
and loud calls for al& to the banks, It was believed
that generally Democrats were leas faiorable to
blinks than were others, and that those nominated
en the opposition ticket, especially, were disposed
to do more for the banks than were the Democratic
candidates; yet the majority for tho Democratic
ticket was overwhelming, 'A general opinion pre
rails, and is cherished with much exertion among
those connected with the operative branches
df the numerous manufactories of the city, that
the Democratic tariff of 1846, and generally the re•
dtiOlion of duties On imported fabrics and 'other
prcidnotions, were elements in the existing difficul
ty; and strong calculations were made on the is
flume of such oonsidorationS upon the voters;
and oven Mr. Wilmot, the candidate for Governor

for votes on thatground. But, spite of the trench•

pm appeals and phjudices, the vote went strongly
against thbsa who tnado the most (Mary about

A deep feeling of , hostility exists in this oit3' to ,
wards slavery, and a atrong belief is cherished by
immenee'imiabers that the admission of Nebraska

tle°, and appeals of the most stirring apd lawn,

in New York but New York papers, that are almost
universally read in this city, have been loud and
foul-mouthed, and most insultingly and injurious
ly Andre ou the subject of the wrongs wadi the
Democratic party was indicting on Kansas.
•But the people of Philadelphia and of Penneyl
•vnnia, good old anti-slavery Pennsylvania, went
quietly to work, and elected by immense majori
ties the representatives • of the party, which is
charged with these wrongs.
Now, why is all this seeming discrepancy between
principle and 'victory? Why have the people of
rennsylvinia, t say—not the Democratic party
alone, but that groat masa of voters that, uniting,
on any question or candidate, onn give to either
success' by, giving their votes 'with the professed
'friends of those principles ur candidates—why
have the people of Pennsylvania thus voted against
what is deemed their own o anions?
I answer, that, in my opinion, the vote of Tues
day is
,one of , the most expressive exponente of
publio sentiment in our State that have ever been
„
In the first place, the people of the State bad
not the least confidenee In the professions of those
'who presented the men and 'expounded the doe
:trines of the conglomerate party. While a portion
tof them were clamorous for nothing but ame
ricans by birth, they were, as they supposed,
soorotly Colluding and bargaining with men
of foreign birth to renew the manifestations
of that hostility which was felt and manifested
in the foreign land of their birth, to renew
upon oar soli, and at our ballot-box, the
hostility that had been cherished and exer
cised when they had no interest in the soil, and
when they were not admitted to the ballot-box.
While those partizans were pretending to advocate
the old American system doctrine, and calling
loudly for protection, the sober observing people
of our city and State remembered that these noisy
protectionists had Mooted as their loader the only
man in Congress, from the State of Pennsylvania,
that voted for a bill which is referred to by them
selves as a great cause of existing evils.
While a continued appeal was made to the sym
pathy of the people on the subject of Kansas, and
meetings were held and good men denounced, and
the foresight and forethought of the President of
the United States ridiculed, and all friends of the
Nebraska bill denounced as worse than murderers,
the people sew that the very um who brought
about this state of things in Congress were hugged
to the heart of the anti-Nebraska party, and made
their leaders against the verymeasure which these
leaders had prometed.
need not remark, Mr. Editor, nothing so
weakens a cause 85 the evidence ofinsincerity. Ono
of the great elements of the power and popularity
of General Jackson was the universal belief that
he was sincere, that he believed and meant what
he said. Nothing was more evident in the recent
contest in this State, than the entire insincerity
of the leaders of the party, whether generals,
colonels, or corporate. Men of sense saw this, and
thotigh they might not have been opposed to every
Measure that seams ignored by the results, they
were opposed to the matt and measures by which
the opposition was most distinguished, and they
felt that the safety of the country was assured by
giving their votes when there was no concealment
of objects, and to a party that had in it the ele
ments only of cohesion.
Mr. Editor, while the Denworatio party van
.keep itself clear of side issues, and present the
'evidences of candor and sincerity, it has at its
command the means of emus at the ballot-box,
(spasmodic seasons excepted.) Let the Demooratio
. party imitate the disgraceful and degrading course
of the ill-sorted opposition, and they will soon find
themielves minus that element which le the com
pliment and the complement of their majority—
, an element that has in it old Democrats, as well
as those who once bad another name.
But, Mr. Editor, what has become of Mr. Wil
mot? The defeat Jo no reason why he should be
derided. On the contrary, a defeated candidate,
under ordinary eironmetaneee, le entitled to re
spectful silence. lint Mr. Wilmot, (was he not a
judge, and did ho not leave the bona ? 1t so,
that proves him to have been a pretty good
judge—it was a good act)—Mr. Wilmot came down
to Philadelphia, and finding, or rather bearing,
that protootion of i , American" industry was
rather popular, he belied the history of/is whole
life, and professed himself favorable to that doe.
trine ; and, what did he gain by it?
Mr. Wilmot needed, as he thought, the votes of
mon of a oortain zeorat combination, and in answer
to questions, he uttered as his belief, infamously
false charges against a numerous body of his fellow
citizens. lie assorted unqualifiedly that they had
A l wa ys 'voted together in ono political body, and
he was foolish enough to found on that "assertion,
false as it was, proof that they were thus under
foreign' influence.' Tho deduotion was silly, the
assertion false. The religious denomination re.
feared to have not been thus arrayed in one party,
and it never was an element Air Democratic party
calculation, till a party was formed to deprive the
persons of, that religions denomination of their legal
and constitutional rights, till that party with

upon fixed prinolples, fold themselves to the new

Meats, deelgrod for Individual and public benefit,
formed by plate individuals as partners in busi

from the gotta) rule to do to others what they

endeavor to bow them up into mammoth size, while
their real Monotone are infinitely less than those
to which thesulogistieal breath of their adulators
would swell hem.
Some of tb remedies for the prevailing pecu
niary diffimaies experienced, or caused by bank
ing inetitutins, have been proposed in the fore
going tamers.• One of the most indispensable and
efficient mans of relief for themselves and the
public,. is to selection by bank-stockholders of
men, as diretors and other °Score of banks, the
most experinced in financial affairs, the most
prudent in to management of them, and the most
pare and uright in their moral principles. These
stookholdertmust not have such unbounded confi
dence in this officer's as to permit them to conduct
their affair without their constant and vigilant
supervision The charters of banks should require
the roost red monthly or weekly account to be
given in th public prints, to the shareholders, and
a monthly t weekly statement, to be presented by
the bank din:dors to the Secretary or Governor of
the State, y which those charters were granted,
of all the witness of the banks. This statement
should beads under oath, and severe penalties
of fine andmprisonment should be enacted against
all by whoi that oath may be falsely taken. Le
gislatures hould provide in the charters which
they granto banks, for the appointment, by them
selves, of aproper proportion of directors, sufficient
itt numbeito watch over and protect the public
interest h them establishments, which, as they
would der's their legal existence from legislative
authoritylhould not object to allow the people,
through Mir representatives, a proper share in
the goverment of them. •
There te, evidently, more banks in existence
In the 'fitted States, than the actual necessities
of the banes.; community require. A moderato
number c banks, proportioned to those neceesl•
ties, with apitals of from &million to two millions,
under jackals and honest management, would
probably e of more service to bank shareholders
and to th public, than a large number of bunks
with ems capitals. Banks with small capitals
too often lale notes and incur unnecessary expen
ses, inuabut of proportion to their real resources
and to le limits, which are observed, in their
issues an expenditures, by banks having capitals
much later than theire
rinanul , disorder and difficulty, caused or ag
gravatetty the improper conduct of banks, are so
frequentond appear to be so regular in their re
eurreneethat they seem' to be almost periodical.
Within 1011 , years, by the derangement of banking
machine', disasters similar to those whleh have
recentlyocurred have been experienced, and the
banks at the people are, suddenly and frequently,
trubjedse to alarms and difficulties, by the erro
neous sn indiscreet measures which are adopted,
again an again, by incompetent or dishonest men,
in deflate of the admonitions of experience and
of all Atm principles of finanoial government.
It is tire for not only bank directors and bunk
owners, at for the MitirebotlY of society, whose in
terests se so much Influenced by banking institu
tions an banking operations, to pause, to reflect
deeply, nd to inquire, considerately and seriously,
as to th causes by which disasters, eo frequent and
so lametaide, are liallioted by or on banks, and on
all whet Interests they control or affect.
It me well be asked why, at a time of profound
peace, {hen the liberal earth has produced from
its exhustless treasury, the richest crops, while
health ind high 'prosperity prevailed through all
thel2lll and diffused their choicest blessings among
the paire—why,there should have been, and now
Is, a 104 and general crier terror and distress,
why a paralysis bed. oohed on the trunk and so
many Imbe of 'thb otimunualty, and why dismay
and desolation appear tn pervade that community,
as if the country, Instead of enjoying so many bles
tinge conferred on it by Providence, were tha scene
of devastating war, famine And pestilence? Why
is it that, although gold has been flowing and con
tinues to flow rapidly and in 'copious streams
into the country, there is within it, apparently, a
sudden and a general scarcity of that metal'
Why has silver, its able coadjutor and ally in
the canoe of human industry and trade, at 01300
almost ceased to circulate through the veins of the
groat social body Why is it bought from
brokers at an exorbitant price. and why is the bu
siness community of it, especially the portion of
it engaged in retailing, subjected ,to so much in
convenience, and even loss, by the want of silver
coin ? There is, most probably, or certainly, am
ply 4ufflaient gold and silver in the United States
to servo all the purposes of business and of circula
tion. If banks board,it, lend it, to money-specu
lators, or refuse to pay ibout to their honest cred
itors, and if mercenary monepehangers sell it at
a high premium, the people 'must blame them
selves for the evil consequences of such violations
of commercial laws and so unjust a denial of justice
and of their rights It is their imperative duty
Ins it is their interest to insist on being reinstated
in the; enjoyment of those rights, to demand and
effect a thorough reformation in the present Znie
management of financial affairs, by banks and by
brokers, and by alrothers, by whom' it is caused or
effected. -
They should, by prompt and proper measures,
release the streams of trade, commerce, and gone•
ral industry, from the dams and stagnant reservoirs
Which speculators in money have erected, for self•
ish purposes, to preVent it flowing, steadily and
abundantly, in its usual and useful course. No'
temporizing or tampering measures, no hasty leg
islation, no crude and -unconcealed expedients
should be adopted, to allay or to remove the pe
cuniary epidemic which rages so fiercely through•
out the country. The interference of laws to re
gulate trade, commerce, and finance, has often
only aggravated the evils which it as vainly in
voked to mitigate - , or to extirpate. But what can
legislation—the wiliest legislation—do for the ad
vantage of the people—the true masters of legisla
' tures and of banks—if the stockholders of banks,
and if all the people aro recreant to their duty?
Experience has frequently and sufficiently proved,
and should convince us, that restrictions imposed
by legislation on powerful money corporations aro
disregarded or violated, when they are obstacles
in the avaricious and ambitions career of those
bodies.
THE ELECTION RIOTS AND MURDER IN
BALTIMORE.
(Prom the Baltimore San of the 11th.]
The election 01 members of the first branch of
City Council yesterday resulted in the selection of
nearly all the American candidates, and it is to be
regretted that blood waaagainahed, Sergeant Wm.
Jourdan having lost his life, and several others
were seriously shot. At an early hour in thereon].
ing it was evident that there would be trouble in
dome of the wards, but that was obviated by the
withdrawal of some of tho Democratic candidates.
In the Fifth ward a sanguinary conflict took
place. About half-pest one o'clock a party passing
up Gay street on the top of an omnibus fired a
pistol in the direction of the crowd standing about
the house where the polls were held, and then
jumped off and ran down Gay street. He was fol•
lowed by a number of persons, who gained on him
so rapidly that he took refuge in the store of Mr.
John Gorsuch, at the corner of Front street, and
escaped by going on the top of the building and
descending through another house. The pureeing
parties then returned to the polls, when a tight
took place, and one of the contenting parties re
treated down High, towards French street. There
were a number of pollee officers at band, and they
used every effort to quell the riot. When they
reached the corner of High street a volley was fired
up French street from the corner of Boren, and it
is Bald from the windows of Jackson Hall. One
of the balls struck Sergeant Jourdan, who said
" I am shot," fell and expired in a few minutes.
The police charged on Jackson Hall, in front of
which was a loaded swivel, which they captured.
With It was a man mimed John Possitt, who was
arrested. ILL the house they arrested John 'Ryan,
Michael Dougbert John Burns, James Murray,
George Bradley, Michael Cox, Miguel J. Grady,
John Carrigan, Patrick Fitzpatrick, And a man
names McFarland. John Burns was arrested on
the charge of attempting to shoot Officer Thomas
Dennison from a window ofJnokson Hall, and who
moaned by the, flashing of the powder in the pan.
MoFarland was arrested on the charge of attempt
ing to shoot Pollee Offleer Wm. Finds% The others
held without ball for the killing of Sergeant
JouirilestFesides tlte the officers took from
the house ttretettir - Mart 'mew, Ages, a keg; of malty
end a large ken Speu__, all of Wh i ch were taken to
the policestation.When it had become known
that Sergeant Jourdan was killed, a large party
went to the police station. where the arrested par
ties were in custody, and were - clamorous for the
delivery of the prisoners, that they might execute
summary vengeance upon them.
In the Eighth ward all was very quiet during
the forenoon and up to half-past four in the after
noon. At that time Police Officer William Kidd
was passing the polls, and when be reached the
corner of Hager street turned again and started
down Ensor street. A young man of his acquain
tance was sittin on the cellar door near the win
dow whore the judges received the votes. To him
Mr. Kidd spoke, and they started down the street
together, They had proceeded as far atthe cor
ner of Webb street, when there was a cry to rally,
and immediately au assault was made on the
officer, and be was badly beaten on the head and
face with revolvers, and one of the skirts of his
coat was torn off. In the melee he was knocked
down, and while he was on the ground a young
man ran up, placed a revolver to his head and
pulled the trigger. The cap snapped, and before
he had the opportunity to make a second attempt
the weapon wee wrested from him by a ohisen who
was present.
Mr. Kidd then got up and ran for the open door
of a house in Webb street, but the inmates became
alarmed and olosed the door agelnsthim. At that
moment a pistol was fired at him, which entered
his clothing in the back without touching his per
son. A second shot was then fired, whets Kidd put
his hand on his back and staggered forward. lie
then ran down Ensor street as far as Chew, one of
his assailants hanging on to him.
There he fell, and wan taken op and carried to
a house near by, where Dr. Dammen attended to
his Injuries. It was found that the ball had pene
trated the spinal region and touched the kidneys
The charge from the first pistol, a large slug, was
found on the removal of his clothing. His condi
tion Is critical.
As soon as the assault was made known at the
station-house, a large body of police officers,
armed with muskets, were marched to the polls,
but there was us further difficulty that we could
hear of. The last shot is said to have been fired
by a youth of some eighteenyears, and the entire
assault was entirely unprovoked. A rung man,
named John Winters, was severely injured, his
right hand having been horribly lacerated by the
explosion of a pistol which he discharged. A man
named Armstrong was pursued, and, to effect his
escape, jumped from a second-story window of a
house on Enloe Street. The fall injured him so
much that it was thought for a time that it would
be impossible for him to recover. lie was taken . to
the middle district police station, where he tied a
slight hemorrhage of the lungs. The injury is in
ternal, and the result is yet doubtful.

INDEPENDENCE, Oat. 7,1857.
The mail from Santa Fe has just arrived. By
it we leans certainly that Otero is elected by at
least 3,000 majority. Political excitement was
very great throughout the Territory, and every
means to elect and defeat that could be devised
were used, Oterq returns as delegate with the
confidence of his constituency, and will make, as
be has heretofore, a very excellent representative
for that people.
The election for members of the Legislature
results in sending nineteen Democrats to Vie lower
Douse, and to the Council ten, giving them a clear
majority for all practical purposes. Padre Galle
gos and Delgado will contest their seats on the
ground that thejudges were not willing to make
necessary correction in the poll-books.
Outside of election matters, there seems to be
little MITE of great interest. Captain Bonneville,
in his official roport,speaks encouragingly of the Gila
country, and thinks it capable of maintaining
. a
dense population in future years as it has done in
past. Quite a number of the military officers are
on their route to the States, and will in a few days
report themselves at •Leavenworth. For greater
safety, they, in company with the mail party, tra
velled together for some days, but not meeting with
any Indians, were uninterrupted. Several hun
dred Klemm were found on the Arkansas, who
manifested the bestfeeling towards them, and from
all the reports we think the former statements
greatly exaggerated. Passengers in by the stage
were Judge 'ffrothus, who comes in to be relieved
by medical aid from deafness, Dr. F. T.' Kava
naugh and lingh h . Smith, Esq. In the neighbor
hood of Booth ic Allison's post all was quiet. Alli
son's train loft here a few Jaye since, and from,
present prospects will reach the station in good
time. The winter's trade will be good, as
eon anticipates no difficulty whatever from the
Cheyennes, who are represented as troublesome ;
the Riowas, OamanehieS, and other tribes, are very
anxious that the post should , be kept up, and pro
mise as much as could be expected from them.
This place (Independence) bee been very lively
for some time past; the Influx of strangers, to
gether with business operations, has kept us all
astir. In connection with two ecclesiastieal bo
dies having this as their place of meeting, the
county fair brought together a great many per
sons from a distance, which. together with the
friends in the adjoining neighborhoods, drew
largely upon the hospitality of our citizens. We
were equal, however, to the emergent-, and all
went away highly gratified. The synod of the
Presbyterian Church, O. S., recently formed by
the General Assembly, at Lexington, by., held
their lint meeting hero, were organised vrithout
delay, and very isarmoniously transuded their
business. For the past few days We base had co
pious Armors of rain, not interfering, however,
with securing our abundant crops.

ROYAL LEGITIMACY IN PERSIA..— ,, According
to the last accounts from Persia," says the lode.

Importance has taken place at Teheran. Is is well
known that polygamy is permitted in Persia, and
the Shah, as well as hie subjects, can have several
,wives. It is the custom in the East for sovereigns
only to marry princesses of the blood royal. 'The
Shah has departed from that custom, and became
attached to one of his seraglio, who, although not
belonging to a princely family, possessed great
power of mind. She therefore became his favorite
sultana. She gave birth tow son, who, from a very
early age, was distinguished by such remarkable
intelligence that the Persian people were pleased
to consider him as their lawful heir to the throne.
Their wishes have . jest been gratified, for the pre
sumptive heir having died last year, the Shah has
designated the young son of his favorite sultana as
his successor. A ceremony attended with extra
ordinary pomp attended this announcement As a
matter of course, considerable jealousy seas excited
in the seraglio by this measure, but the people have
been unanimous in the expression of their joy at
the choice made by their sovereign "
